More Ben
6 Feb
Yesterday the big snowstorm descended on Columbus. We were supposed to get 8 or 9 inches, but downtown only ended up getting about 4. I decided that this meant it was safe enough for me to drive to the rec, so I did. But, I forgot about that cleaning off the car business, which was a workout in itself. I couldn’t get the very top of the car, so I left the neighborhood with 4 inches of snow on my roof, in addition to really wet gloves. I hate that. The streets were pretty clear and there were lots of parking spaces at the rec, so that was nice. And, on the way home I saw a snowman Brutus! The face was carved perfectly and it even had flexing arms. I was going to turn around and take a picture, but I’m trying to make my car a “no phone zone” like Oprah told me to. My apologies. Also on the way home, that 4 inches of snow that was on my roof loosened up enough that when I stopped at a red light, it all slid onto my windshield. Awesome. No worries though, the windshield wipers did the trick.
I did schoolwork all afternoon until it was time to go out to dinner for Ben’s birthday part two. We went to Gameworks at Easton. Gameworks has this deal where if you eat a 1.25 lb burger, then you get a free $10 game card. You have to eat the WHOLE burger and the side. Everyone tried the challenge (but me), and though there was some grimacing and deep breathing (well, except for Matt), everyone finished and received their prize. Here we all are, ridonculous burgers in hand.
That's a lot of meat!
After that, we played some games… while trying to keep down those big burgers.
Look at that face!
This is a familar scene... from Tokyo to Columbus.
And, now we’re back at Ben’s house watching some UFC. Happy Birthday, Ben!
